Projected depth chart, rotation for Colorado Buffaloes men’s basketball

The Colorado Buffaloes are one week from their 2025-26 opener. It’s a challenge competing in the loaded Big 12, especially with the limited resources available to Tad Boyle and the coaching staff.

2025-26 MSU Hoops Preview: The Coaches

The 2024-25 basketball season certainly exceeded expectations with Michigan State winning the Big Ten regular season championship by a ridiculous three-game margin and then advancing all the way to the Elite 8.
